Midsize Truck Buyer's Tip Feature: Colorado ZR2 Nabs Cars.com's “Best Pickup of 2018”

As usage of internet and mobile devices has skyrocketed in the last decade, many auto experts are “taking to the blog” to share their opinions, test drive stats, and leading features that many new cars provide for the customer. There are so many great sources for car news and updates these days, that it can be a bit difficult to keep track, and we enjoy checking up on the most respected of the lot for our daily news. With everyone in a bit of a “truck frenzy” over the past few years, many of our frequent customers will come see as at West Chevy and ask about the awards and achievements that each different vehicle has gleaned.

The Colorado ZR2 was named by Cars.com and PickupTrucks.com as the Best Pickup Truck of 2018, and the editors gave it praise for being an “almost perfect combination of passion and technology”, while also claiming that it is quite possibly the most distinctive vehicle to come along in years. To be competitive in the current midsize truck market, launching a vehicle that is like everyone else's simply does not allow for success. One of the reasons why the ZR2 has won over so many followers is it's reputation for precision handling, combined with a list of off-road features and most truck-specific tech options of any other truck this type.

The ZR2 sports a three-and-a-half inch wider track, and suspension that has been lifted by two inches. Just two years ago, the ZR2 was the only off-roader in the nation that was available with a very torquey yet fuel efficient oil-burner. Part of the reason why the ZR2 has so much potential and prowess in mud and other off-road scenarios is its size: snug only begins to define just how perfect it lunges forward in any type of setting. There are times when the ability to have a huge haul is tremendous, but having the vital ability to feel a sense of balance and precision is primo in an off-road scenario.

Prepare to check out just how awesome the truck is that has sold more than 300,000 units over the last three years, and has also added very futuristic technology to effectively reach a new group of customers who are passionate about off-roading. The presence of both front and rear locking differentials, option for diesel engine, and first ever application of Multimatic Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve damper technology are all other reasons that the ZR2 was the show-stealing top pick of the year.

The spool valve damper technology makes use of a tube full of oil and a metal plunger in the shock absorber. As the fluid inside the shock is pushed up or down, the resulting force allows the fluid to pass through the tube, and the wheels to go up and down in a very precise fashion. Come see why the ZR2 can provide for you the best of sturdy support and performance, whether you are rock crawling, out for a daily drive, or getting ready to experience the thrills of a tight two-track trail at a place like nearby Windrock Park!
